Disable OWA hyperlink in Outlook 2013

Is there a GPO setting that removes the hyperlink to OWA that appears next to the "Account Settings" button under "Info"?
It appears for all users and some of them have OWA disabled, so they click on it and try playing around with it and can't log in because it's disabled for them. I'd rather remove the link altogether so they can't do that.

Hi,
We cannot get the Office ID to disable the URL shown under "Access this account on the web" in Outlook 2013. There is no other GPOs to do that either. This should be a product limitation.
A same question in Outlook 2010:

You may try the workaround in the link above by Tony, if you'd like to.

Disable Exchange Calendar in Outlook 2013

Is there any way that I can disable a calendar for an Exchange account in Outlook? The problem is that I use one Exchange calendar for all my appointments. I have two separate Exchange accounts though for email (personal and business). Periodically
when I create an appointment in Outlook, it creates the appointment in the wrong Exchange calendar so I'd like to disable that one.

Firstly, if you want your appointment goes to a specific calendar, you should select any of the folder under that Exchange account in Outlook navigation panel, then start creating your appointment. In this case, the appointment will be created in right Exchange
calendar.
Also, you can set a registry value to always force the use of the default account. To force using the default email account, regardless of which pst file you are viewing, browse to the following registry subkey in outlook 2013 and add a DWORD named NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
Value: 1

You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with your current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your outlook data file (.ost).... OWA works but outlook 2013 does not, exchange server 2013 on Server standard 2012

I have read a lot of articles and tried a lot of things, but I cannot get outlook to connect to my exchange server. This is a test environment, I have tried making my own certificate and signing it through my own CA to no avail. I have completely disabled
windows firewall and stopped the service. I can ping between the two just fine by name or IP. I've tried not using cached mode, creating new profiles in outlook etc. I tried setting my CertPrincipalName to my FQDN in exchange powershell.
I am not an expert with exchange at all, but I feel like this should work with little to no configuration, instead I've wasted days on this. Half of the articles I've read don't seem to have solutions, and the other half have solutions that are not working
for me.
I can access OWA and send emails on a client computer through OWA with no problems.
I am running a test domain on the same network as my current exchange 2003/sbs 2003 active environment, I don't know why this would be an issue, but if it is I cannot figure out why. The only thing I can see holding me back right now is not having a signed
certificate from digicert etc, and an official internet domain set up, but I don't think either of those things matter in my situation.
Any help is greatly appreciated and I'll gladly provide any other information requested to solve this issue, thank you.

ADRMS Server 2012 with exchange 2010, I have created some new templates, they are showing up in owa but not Outlook 2013

I cannot figure out why my templates do not show up in Outlook, when I manually update the AD RMS task scheduler to run the templates get pulled and placed into the C:\Users\%%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\DRM\Templates
but when I launch outlook they are not displayed.
Has anyone encountered this type of problem before?

Hi,
Generally, the default Outlook Templates (.oft) is located in drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
Firstly, please make sure the Templates have been located in the C:\Users\%%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\DRM\Templates path of your local machine. If it is there, please copy and paste the new Templates to the default Outlook Templates location.
Then we can right-click the Folder to select Properties in Outlook, and click dropdown next to "When posting to this folder, use:" and select the custom template form in the list. For more information about Outlook Templates, please refer to:

Can Outlook 2013 cached mode disabled work offline?

Hello
I would like to please someone help me to resolve a concern. I have a client Outlook 2013 cache mode disabled by policy, however when you need to open Outlook without connecting to any network, is not possible and a message that the server is not online.
Is there a way to change this behavior and that an Outlook client that has disabled the cache can work offline?
Many thanks

Hi
No, that is what cached mode is used for.
You can use OWA offline if you are disabling cache mode with policy.

Outlook 2013 disables com add in

Hello, I have a Outlook 2013 (connected to exchange2010) with a few add ins.
One COM add in is not available when I stop outlook and start it.
Everytime I have to go to File - options - add ins - click Start - check the add in and click OK.

Can I disable something in outlook (or register) so every addin is loaded no mather what??
It worked for a few days but not anymore.
I have this problem with one pc all others works fine.
Tnx Marc
MarcH

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to solve this problem please follow these steps: -
Although add-ins can enhance your user experience, they can occasionally interface or conflict with Outlook. Try to start Outlook without any add-ins running.
Do the following, as appropriate for your operating system:
If you are running Windows 8, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap
Search. Type Run in the search box, and then tap or click
Run.
If you are running Windows 7 or Vista, click
Start.
If you are running Windows XP, click
Start, and then click Run.
Type
Outlook /safe, and then click OK.
If the problem is resolved, click
Options on the File menu, and then click
Add-Ins.
Select
COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
Clear all the check boxes in the list, and then click
OK.
Restart Outlook.
The solution provided by Mr. Steve Fan is a perfect match for your question, and you can also try this solution too.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

How to fix acrobat/pagemaker plug-in for Outlook 2013 from disabling on restart?

I have an issue with one of my customers where they have to go in and manually enable the Adobe Acrobat plug-in for Outlook 2013 every time they close and re-open Outlook or restart their computer. When I go into Add-Ins in Outlook the plug-in isn't in the disabled COM add-ins, but in the Inactive Application Add-ins section and the user needs to click on Go and then check the box to enable it. This happens everytime Outlook is restarted or the computer is restarted. Anyone seen this issue and have a fix? it's a Windows 7 pro machine running Adobe Acrobat X and Office 2013 (cloud install). Office and Windows are all patched and up to date. Running "check for updates" within Acrobat says it's up to date also. Thanks for any input or help in advance.

Sounds like the Security settings in the registry for Outlook 2013/Office 2013 are stuck and not letting you permantly change/the setting. This has more to do with Office than it does with Acrobat so you may want to go to the MS website to see where these settings live in the Windows registry.

Outlook 2013 Client - missing random sent items, not happen in owa.

Hello,
We are working in our company with Exchange 2007 SP3 CU13.
We are experiencing some problems with one Outlook 2013 client installed on Windows 8.1.
He lose some random mails from "sent items" folder. But if you check the OWA, all mails are ok.
I have readed that there is some bug about this, but these comments are for two years ago. And I didn't find any great solution.
I don't think that the solution is to make a new rule to re-copy these sent mails to that folder.Re-create the user outlook profile don't seem to be another good fix. It's only a new start point.
I have activated client side troubleshooting.
I would appreciate your help.

Hi,
For Exchange Accounts in Outlook, the emails should sync between the client and the server. Since on the server the emails are there but some are lost on Outlook client, this makes me suspect there is a custom view applied on Outlook.
Start Outlook with the /cleanviews switch:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /cleanviews" in the blank box, press Enter.
This will restore default views. All custom views that you created will be lost.
Check the result then.

Hi,
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods to verify the quota status of mailboxes.
Method 1: Use Exchange Admin Console (EAC)
If you want to verify the status of individual mailbox quotas, follow these steps: 1.Log on to EAC by using a user account that is assigned at least the Mail Recipients role.
2.In the feature pane, click recipients. A list of mailboxes is displayed.
3.Select the mailbox of which you want to verify the quota status, and then click the Edit button on the toolbar.
4.Click mailbox usage. The mailbox quota usage is displayed.
Method 2: Use Exchange Management Shell
If you want to verify the status of individual mailbox quota, run the following command in Exchange Management Shell:
Get-MailboxStatistics DisplayName | ft *quota*,*size -AutoSize –Wrap
If you want to verify the status of the mailbox quota for all the mailboxes that are hosted on a database, run the following command:
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database DatabaseName | ft displayname,*quota*,*size -AutoSize –Wrap

Client side disabling of Outlook anywhere in Outlook 2013

Hi
Our admins recently had to disable external access for Outlook while keeping ActiveSync for Mobile Clients working. This was done by placing the autodiscover service (autodiscover.ourexternaldomain.com) behind a TMG with two factor authentication, and also
putting our mail.ourexternaldomain.com behind the same TMG. So, Outlook from outside the network can't connect anymore (it will show you the login/pass prompt but what it wants is the two factor credentials, not your domain credentials.. so essentially you
can't connect anymore), and mobile client still work.
In addition, they've disabled the "Outlook anywhere" options (specifically, "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" is not only grayed out, it is forced disabled) by GPO.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work for the handful that's already using Outlook 2013. There, even when the "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" option is unchecked, the client will query autodiscover.ourexternaldomain.com, and eventually gets
the response containing not only the EXCH protocol (which contains the internal urls), but also the EXPR protocol containing the public urls. That in turn re-enables "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP", so now clients, even when inside the
organization will try to access the mail.ourexternaldomain.com which is behind the TMG, resulting in perpetual login prompts being displayed (the login actually comes from the TMG, not Exchange).
So, is there a way to force disable "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" for Outlook 2013, preferably without changing anything on Exchange and the GPO. I guess I'm looking for the registry key that is set for outlook 2010. I checked up on
the GPO for Outlook 2010 and it seems it sets HKCU/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/RPC/ProxyServerFlags = 0. Doing the same for Outlook 2013 (so using the Office/15.0/Outlook/RPC key) results in outlook no longer being able to connect altogether.
When I manually remove the checkbox and restart Outlook, it first connects using the internal url, then after getting autodiscover it sets the checkbox "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" again, and since the external url can be resolved
from inside the network, I get the password prompts again even from inside the corporate network.
Is there a registry key combination that keeps outlook connecting but never using the http proxy?

Hi Stephan,
How about the suggestion from Ed.
Feel free to contact me if there is any update.

Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?

Hi,
Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?
Thank You.

Hi Kavin,
You can try the below steps on the OWA server box,
search for this file name in explorer
File name: "messageoptionsdialog.aspx"
open this file in notepad
search for "chkbcc" you'll find something like this "input type="checkbox" id="chkBcc"
you need to update the LINE BEFORE IT to <td style="visibility:hidden">
Try this and let me now if this worked
Although I've not tried this for the OUTLOOK client, you can try this and check if you need
But this has worked for OWA for one of my client
I'm also not very sure if this can be achieved on all of your outlook users from a server admin point of view, coz this is a client feature and not a user specific active directory attribute.
Thanks & Regards
John Chris

Trouble with outlook 2013 but not OWA

My company uses Office 365 and outlook 2013. we have a user can no longer edit shared calender events in Outlook however she can edit them in OWA. I added her profile to my PC and I have the same issue on my PC. There says you don not have permissions
to edit this calendar. However, if try to do the same thing in OWA it works just fine. Her outlook profile is configured correctly and autodiscover is enabled on 365. I can not nuke her 365 account because there are things we need in her account. does anyone
have any idea how to resolve this?

OWA is fine but Outlook client fails. It seems the Mailbox folder permission has been set right on the mailbox level but Outlook doesn't get the update from server.
On the client site, we may create a new Outlook profile and re-sync the new OST, OAB, etc to check if the issue still persists.
For a workaround, we may grant the FullAccess permission to access the target shared calendar/mailbox on Office 365 management platform?
If the shared calendar is located on the Office 365 Shared Mailbox, try to use Office 365 Shared Mailbox tool.
We created a GUI-based tool to make it easier to create and configure shared mailboxes. After you download the shared mailbox tool and create a security group, you can run the tool to create a shared mailbox and assign the
FullAccess and SendAs permissions to a security group. See
Create Shared Mailboxes with GUI-based Tool.

Outlook 2013 not fulling syncing with Office 365 OWA

Briefly - is there any reason why emails that are accessible via the browser in Outlook are not being fetched by Outlook 2013 on the desktop? This using Office 365 Small Business Premium, client machine is running Win7.
TIA
Mike

Hi Mike,
Please confirm the items which are not synced to Outlook are listed in specific folder or all folders. Please click Send/Receive All Folders in Outlook to check whether all items can be synced completed in Outlook.
We can follow Eric's suggestion to disable Outlook cached mode to check whether the issue persists. If the issue doesn't happen in Outlook Online mode but only in Cached mode, we can
create a new Outlook profile
to have a try.

How do I setup useful shared contacts with Exchange OWA Outlook 2013

Hi There,
I have a non profit I'm helping out. They have Exchange 2013 Sp1 & outlook 2013 .
How can I setup shared contacts for Outlook and OWA users?
I have been struggling to setup a useful shared contacts folder. No Matter what way I do it there seems to be major shortcomings.
They have 1 "Shared" mailbox account [email protected] and many user accounts [email protected]
I first imported the contacts from csv into a contacts folder in the info@ account, which works great for the Info@ user. When I share the folder with other users they can see it listed in "People" in full Outlook, but if they're addressing a message
they can't see the contacts when they hit the TO button. If I look at the properties of the Info@ Contacts folder in the folder list of the User, the Outlook Address Book tab is missing. Also can't find any way in OWA for User@ to open the shared contact folder.
I also tried using Public folders to share the contacts but found problems there too. Using Full desktop Outlook, users can share contacts, add to their Outlook address book etc. Great, but... there's no way to access Public Folder Contact folders in OWA.
They're a fully volunteer organization so many people are using OWA from home, they're not IT people so it needs to be easy.
Is there something I'm missing, when I started out on the task I thought it would be simple. Its hard to believe after all this time MS hasn't addressed these major shared contact shortcomings.
Thanks for any help!

I decided to go with a mixed solution.
Not every member has a society email account, only the executive and key volunteers have society exchange email accounts.
I imported the society member list into the the GAL, this allows any society mail users to email other members easily
I then imported the larger marketing list into the shared mail account which is restricted to a few users. They can be shared from there to other users, but they can only access those shared contact from Outlook (not OWA)
It's not ideal as OWA users cannot access the contacts from the Shared Mailbox but they can at least find other members addresses easily.
It looks like I could also setup a new GAL and share it with only some users, haven't dug too deeply into this yet.
Thanks for your help Ed
